Once considered kinky or exotic, sex toys can now be found on the shelves of small retail stores and major corporate chains. They are also widely considered a positive and healthy way to explore your sexuality by medical and mental health professions. But finding straightforward, honest information about sex toys can still be a challenge. Most sex toy information is created by marketers and publicists, so the messages are likely slightly biased.
Sex Toy Facts and Myths
Greater media attention to sex toys doesn’t always translate into better information. There continue to be many myths about sex toys, some of which you can find repeated in entertainment media, and even occasionally, news media. Some popular sex toy myths include:
- Only lonely people and losers use sex toys
- You can become addicted to sex toys
- If you use sex toys too much it can ruin “regular” sex for you
Different Kinds of Sex Toys
There is nothing like the Periodic Table for sex toys; there are no exact definitions or answers as to what is and isn’t a sex toy, or what is the absolute difference between a vibrator, a dildo, and butt plug.
- Vibrators: A sex toy with a motor that whirrs, it creates extra stimulation beyond how you move it.
- Dildos: Sex toys made for penetration that only move as much as you move them yourself.
- Lubricants: Essential for use with other sex toys, lubricant makes sex slippery, often more sensitive and more comfortable. Also required for any anal penetration.
- Penis Rings: A ring that’s worn around the base of the penis that can create pleasurable pressure for the wearer. Some men report rings can prolong an erection.
Sex Toy Safety
Most sex toys are perfectly safe, as long as they are used with common sense. But some sex toys are more likely to cause problems (for example allergic reactions or slight abrasions due to rough edges). And even if a sex toy is safe, you may still have a negative reaction to it (from not liking it to finding it a serious turn off).
